Bajaj Pulsar 220F 180 Updated For 2019

New Pulsar 220F has been spotted at a dealership ahead of official launch.
Entire Pulsar range, including 150, 180 and 220F get new graphics and underbelly fairing for 2019.
Despite updates, pricing remains unchanged at Rs 98,694 for the Pulsar 220F and Rs 85,525 for the Pulsar 180 (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi).
Two colour options are available for 220F: Blue and Red/Black.

Bajaj had recently updated the Pulsar 150 range for 2019. And now, along with the Pulsar 180, the bikemaker has updated the Pulsar 220F as well. While Bajaj is yet to officially announce the update, the new 2019 Pulsar 220F was spotted at a dealership. Despite the updates, we were quoted the same pricing as the earlier Pulsar 220F which is Rs 96,422 (ex-showroom Pune).

Cosmetic updates for the Pulsar 220F and Pulsar 180 include new graphics on the front fender, fairing, belly pan and tailpiece. Yes, both bikes get a belly pan fairing as well. They also get a faux carbon fibre finish on the centre panel.

Mechanically, the bikes remain unchanged and surprisingly, they do not seem to get ABS either. We expect the bikes to get this safety tech soon as the 220F with ABS has also been spied testing.

The Pulsar 220F carries forward the same 220cc air- and oil-cooled single-cylinder motor which makes 21PS and 19Nm of torque, mated to a five-speed gearbox. The Pulsar 180 too carries forward its 178.6cc air- and oil-cooled single-cylinder motor that makes 17PS and 14.22Nm of torque along with its 5-speed gearbox.

Both bikes get the same dual cradle frame with front telescopic forks and gas charged twin shock absorbers at the rear. They have 17-inch alloys on both ends shod with MRF Nylogrip Zappers. Braking is via front and rear disc brakes.

The Pulsar 220 has been one of Bajaj’s best selling model and still enjoys a sizeable fan following, thanks to the performance it offers at a fairly reasonable price tag. It also offers good features at that price, like a projector headlamp, LED tail lamp, split seats and digital analogue instrument console. The Pulsar 180 borrows a lot of the Pulsar 220’s features like the LED tail lamp and semi-digital instrument console.

That said, both motorcycles feel a bit dated now especially in the company of more powerful modern 160 and 200cc motorcycles like the TVS Apache RTR 200 4v and Apache RTR 160 4V.

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC Review In Pictures

Watch Video Review Triumph has launched its new hardcore Scrambler 1200 XC in India at Rs 10.73 lakh (ex-showroom, India). We got to ride this new and more offroad-focused Scrambler in India and here are our views about it with detailed images. Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read: Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit. Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. It has two themes and relays a

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed
